MIDDLETOWN — Police are looking to identify an assailant involved in an attack at the Tractor Supply Company earlier this month.

On Oct. 4 around 5:30 p.m., police said a man attacked a patron of the Tractor Supply Company at 815 Newfield St. Police said the assailant used “a tire tool he removed from its ... pack inside the store.” The victim suffered non-life-threatening injuries to the back of his neck.

The suspect fled on foot toward Cromwell. He also arrived on foot at the store, police said.

Police believe the suspect has some kind of tattoo on his upper back.
